- Move 1.1
-
- Written by Asher Feldman
-
- Note: Move requires both the Copy and Delete commands in your c directory.
-
- This is my first attempt at writing a 'C' program for the Amiga, as well
- as my first program to be released in the public domain.
-
- Changes since 1.0
- -----------------
- Move 1.1 contains a bug fix, which would cause crashes on some
- machines. 1.1 also now contains an imbeded version string, and doesn't
- give you a long message when moving multiple files (with wildcards.)
-
- What is it?
- -----------
- Move is a simple "move" command. It allows you to move files to and from
- any device or directory. It performs the same function as the Move command
- on a directory utility, but from the CLI or Shell. It can also be used as
- a Rename command.
-
- Under 2.0, Move will work with file links. (It took me a day or two to find
- out how to even make a link! :-)
-
- Usage
- -----
- Move takes two arguments:
-
- Move <arg1> <arg2>
-
- <arg1> is the file you want to move. It can contain wildcards, such as
- "#?.lha". If you are running under 2.0 (and if you aren't, why not?) and
- use a program such as Starburst to activate the * wildcard, you can make
- it "*.lha" instead.
-
- <arg2> is the destination. It can be a filename, directory or device.
-
-
- To move the file "readme" to ram: you would enter:
-
- Move readme ram:
-
-
- To move all files that have the prefix "mod" to the directory DH0:Music
- you would enter:
-
- Move mod#? DH0:Music
-
-
- If you want to move every file in one directory to another, it would be:
-
- Move <dir> <dir>
-
-
- Move can also be used to rename a file. To change the name of the file
- "SONG.MOD" to "MOD.SONG" you would enter:
-
- Move SONG.MOD MOD.SONG
-
-
- General Info
- ------------
- There were already two "Move" utilities floating around in the public
- domain that I knew of when I wrote this. Both have built-in copy and
- delete routines. I thought this was a waste of space, especialy for those
- of us with very limited resources. Thus I wrote Move, which takes advantage
- of the "Copy" and "Delete" commands already on everyone's system. This
- allows Move to be less than half as small as the two other "Move" utils.
- Move will accept the standard C= wildcards, #?, and if you're using the
- arp.lib Copy and Delete commands, it accepts the arp.lib * wildcard.
-
- Move will obviously run much faster if you have the Copy and Delete
- commands in residence.
-

- BUGS
- ----
- In the case of
-
- Move yy xx
-
- where the file xx already exsists, xx will be overwriten without warning.
- If Move for some reason cannot copy the file(s), it will exit and your
- files will not be deleted.

- If you find this program useful, and would like to help out a poor high
- school student (as well as a die-hard Amiga user!) then I would greatly
- appreciate it if you sent a small amount of money, or maybe a nice euro
- demo to the address above. I would be even MORE grateful if you sent me a
- 1.2GIG hard drive or a v.32bis modem! :-)
-
- And Now For The Legal Claptrap
- -------------------------------
- If this program causes your computer to blow up, or your hard drive to
- implode, or anything else that isn't too nice, then it's your fault, not
- mine. This program is not "guaranteed" to do anything. (although if it
- doesn't, please send me (E)mail!)
-
- This program may be freely distributed as long as this doc file is included.
